Chinua Achebe Quotes
Then Listen To Me,' He Said And Cleared His Throat. 'It's True That A Child Belongs To Its Father. But When A Father Beats His Child, It Seeks Sympathy In Its Mother's Hut. A Man Belongs To His Fatherland When Things Are Good And Life Is Sweet. But When There Is Sorrow And Bitterness He Finds Refuge In His Motherland. Your Mother Is There To Protect You. She Is Buried There. And That Is Why We Say That Mother Is Supreme. Is It Right That You, Okonkwo, Should Bring Your Mother A Heavy Face And Refuse To Be Comforted? Be Careful Or You May Displease The Dead. Your Duty Is To Comfort Your Wives And Children And Take Them Back To Your Fatherland After Seven Years. But If You Allow Sorrow To Weigh You Down And Kill You, They Will All Die In Exile.
